dc.descriptionThis report was developed by students in LAW-B515: Project Management for Lawyers at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in collaboration with the Lawrence County Circuit Court through the 2017–2018 Sustaining Hoosier Communities initiative. The report includes memoranda from the top three student teams who assessed the unmet legal needs of rural residents, low-income seniors, and homeless and low-income populations in Lawrence County, Indiana. Through interviews, literature reviews, and stakeholder engagement, the students identified systemic barriers to legal access and proposed strategies to improve the delivery of civil legal services to vulnerable populations in rural communities. This project was completed as a collaboration between the students in a course under the Indiana University Maurer School of Law’s Access-to-Justice program, LAW-B515: Project Management for Lawyers, and Lawrence County Circuit Court as part of the 2017–2018 Indiana University Sustaining Hoosier Communities (IUSHC) initiative. IUSHC is a program within the IU Center for Rural Engagement (CRE). This report represents original student work and recommendations proposed by the students in LAW-B515: Project Management for Lawyers for Lawrence County Circuit Court. The memos from the three top student teams who studied the needs of rural residents, the needs of low-income seniors, and the needs of homeless and low-income populations in Lawrence County are included in this report. The contents of this report represent the views of the students in LAW-B515: Project Management for Lawyers and do not reflect those of IUSHC, CRE, Indiana University, or Lawrence County.
